I would say it's achievable, but you'd be well past its efficiency generating alot of heat in the process.
The safest way to do it would be to have head work and run as least boost as possible. Basically extract every bit of power that doesn't involve increasing the boost.
Why you would bother is another question, there are some smaller IHI turbos that would be more suited for the job. That way you could maintain the torque and midrange of the CT9.

agreed, i'm only doing it to see what performance difference the headwork we've done has made. then it's having bigger injectors, FCON and a hyrbid turbo fitted. then the aim is 250bhp

lol... i remember when you said that over 200HP in a starlet is pointless...
now your aiming for 250hp....
Not saying that in a funny way by the way, just wondering why the change of opinion?

i still sorta hold that opinion
limitations of front wheel drive and all that. but at the same time we've gone the whole hog on this build now, so it'd be rude not to pull some decent power outta it

yeah fair enough.... haha...
there are limitations that can be de-limited with carefull mods and a good set up...... your car deserves the power and with 250HP you'll f*****G love it
that will be one quick SR, haha

I'm looking at doing this and I believe it is possible, you just need to think outside the box really.
The problem with the CT9 is that over 1 Bar, as GTti quite rightly said, the turbo is outside it's efficienct range and increasing the boost further only creates more heat, effectively becoming a heat pump. There are ways around this, it's just finding the right combination that works. The crux of it is detonation. As we all know, det kills cars so we need to prevent it.
